Z, > How long have you been predicting rapid inflation for?

Lots of factors beating down inflation right now. Doesn't mean you can just print money like a banana republic and assume inflation won't rear its ugly head in our lifetimes. The elderly don't care, but you and I really ought to.

> One life? 45,000 people die each year in the U.S. because of lack of insurance.

Sounds like yet another cooked up statistic.

I've already told you about the troubles at King-Drew Medical Center and how many people died there because of bureaucratic screwups. You're advocating policies that will repeat those very mistakes on a national level. All to satisfy your guilt over people who can't afford basic health care.

So it is ok to sacrifice nearly 200,000 lives needlessly by delaying implementation of Obama/PelosiCare for four years because that is the only way it can be made to appear not to a bloated budget busting monster?
